Sophia Lyrics - Fires - Nerina Pallot

Five o' clock and a fire escape symphony 

Spilling out across the road and the square 

And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me? 

Do the parks and trees and the leaves reach you there? 

After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me 

Calling out again and again 

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning 

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out 

Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things 

I can't go without and one of them is him 

Now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town 

Learn the language, form the words when I speak 

But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around 

Now I count the hours and the days and the weeks 

Passion and silence, every word, every line, a measure 

It's the science of the soul, and his books 

They breathe a reason and now I wanna know 

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning 

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out 

Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things 

I can't go without and one of them is him 

And you, with your new born eyes 

Have you ever loved a man like I love him? 

Do you hurt but still feel alive like never before? 

Oh, Sophia, Sophia 

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning 

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out 

Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things 

I can't go without, I can't go without him
